Standard therapy for chordoma consists of surgical resection followed by high-dose irradiation. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine phosphatase involved in signal transduction, cell cycle progression, cell differentiation, and DNA repair. LB100 is a
OBJECTIVE
Chordomas are rare, malignant bone neoplasms in which the pathogenic mechanisms remain unknown. Interestingly, tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is the only syndrome in which the incidence of chordomas has been described. We previously reported the pathogenic role of the TSC genes in
The metastasis-associated phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) plays multiple roles in progression of various human cancers; however, significance of its role during development has not been addressed. Here we cloned and characterized the expression pattern of zebrafish prl-3 transcript and
The classical sacrococcygeal chordoma tumor presents with a typical morphology of lobulated myxoid tumor tissue with cords, strands and nests of tumor cells. The population of cells consists of small non-vacuolated cells, intermediate cells with a wide range of vacuolization and large heavily
BACKGROUND
The majority of chordomas show activation of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR). Based on in vitro intertumoral variation in response to recombinant PDGF protein and PDGFR inhibition, and variable tumor response to imatinib, we hypothesized that chordomas resistant to
Sacral chordoma is an aggressive, locally invasive neoplasm, and has a poor prognosis. However, the molecular basis for the clinical behavior remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) and mammalian
Chordomas are radio- and chemo-resistant tumours and metastasise in as many as 40% of patients. The aim of this study was to identify potential molecular targets for the treatment of chordoma. In view of the reported association of chordoma and tuberous sclerosis complex syndrome, and the available
Tripartite motif-containing protein 11 (TRIM11), a member of RING family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, is identified as an oncogene in certain human tumors. However, the detailed biological function of TRIM11 in chordoma is still unclear. The purpose of present research is to explore the Previous researches suggested microRNA-140-3p (miR-140-3p) and miR-155-5p as cancer promotor in chordoma. We aimed to investigate the mechanisms of these two miRNAs in chordoma cells. Patient-derived chordoma cell lines were established in vitro. Expressions of miR-140-3p or miR-155-5p were measured
OBJECTIVE
We sought to compare the prognosis of clival chordomas with different dural penetration and establish the relationship between dural penetration and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-β signaling pathway.
METHODS
Tumors in Type I (33 cases) showed limited dural penetration,
Cytologic and cytochemical examination of eighteen cases of round-cell sarcoma of bone allowed classification of these tumors into four cytologic groups. Additional cytochemical examinations based on the PAS and D-PAS reactions, and the demonstration of the activity of peroxidase,
In the sellar region most tumors of our collection (n = 1937) are pituitary adenomas, followed by craniopharyngiomas, chordomas and meningiomas. Difficulties in morphological differential diagnosis by light microscopy may occur in meningiomas, plasmacytomas, chordomas and germinomas. In these cases,
Extracellular environment is a physical support that is critical to cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation. In this work, cell-derived matrices (CDMs) were obtained by separately culturing fibroblasts, preosteoblasts, and chondrocytes. The cells were grown on a coverslip and subjected to
104 patients with various cancer, excluding malignant lymphoma and leukemia, underwent bone marrow biopsy using a Jamshidi needle, regular type. In 100 patients an adequate pice of bone marrow was obtained. In 24 patients metastases were detected in the bone marrow. Metastases were found in 10 of 38
